Varun Chakaravarthy and Kuldeep Yadav, according to former India opener Aakash Chopra, would be crucial in Sunday, September 14, India vs. Pakistan Asia Cup 2025 match at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
After scoring four runs in India’s Asia Cup opening match against the United Arab Emirates, Kuldeep was named Player of the Match. Since rejoining the national squad last year, Chakaravarthy has been playing at an excellent level. In the final game, the spinner from Tamil Nadu finished with impressive statistics of 1/4 in two overs.
Chopra noted that Pakistan has struggled against wrist spinners during his preview of the intense India-Pakistan match.
From a bowling standpoint, I believe that Kuldeep Yadav and Varun Chakaravarthy, India’s two spinners, can both take wickets and dominate the game.
Pakistan has not performed well against leg-spin in the past. They have trouble with leg-spin, whether it’s left-arm or right-arm. According to ESPNcricinfo, Chopra stated, “Those eight overs could potentially define or decide this match.”
In the last game, Mohammad Harris scored runs in those eight overs of spin, earning a half-century. Both of them will be the target. Fakhar Zaman is another well-known figure for them. Therefore, I believe the game might swiftly turn in India’s favour if you can get them out in the middle,” he continued.
India has won 10 of their 13 meetings with Pakistan thus far, giving them an outstanding head-to-head record. Pakistan is entering this match fresh off a victory, much like India. The UAE was crushed by nine wickets by Suryakumar Yadav and company, but Salman Ali Agha’s team got off to a 93-run start against Oman. Dubai was the venue for both games.
The continuation of the match against Pakistan following the Pahalgam incident has drawn a lot of criticism from cricket fans against the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). The demand for tickets hasn’t been quite as high as it was at past games between the bitter rivals.
